Explanation:

1. The cell - membrane is the outer boundary of the cell, so 1 matches D.
2. A cell is the basic unit of life, so 2 matches E.
3. Nerve cells transport messages in the human body, so 3 matches G.

5. Flagella are whip - like appendages on a prokaryote cell to help it move, so 5 matches H.
6. Eukaryotic cells are the type of cells found in plants and animals, so 6 matches B.
7. Cytoplasm is what the components of a cell float in, so 7 matches C.
8. Mitochondria is where a cell gets its energy, so 8 matches J.
9. The nucleus is considered the brains of a cell, so 9 matches F.
10. Ribosomes are tiny factories that make different things cells need to function, so 10 matches I.
